‘The revolt is here, the revolt is here,’ the people say
‘Not yet, not yet,’ the British pray
‘Soon, soon,’ promise the ones who lead
‘We will soon be free, and with great speed’
Nehru, Bharatiyar, Mangal Pande and Gandhiji
Fought to give us democracy and make us free
A poet, a Satyagrahi, a PM, and a sepoy
Helped make a reality of what was once a mere ploy
They delivered us from the bane
And took away that thorny pain
That thought that we were not our own person
That weight that weighed us down, that period of perversion
